Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

Every year, during the festival of Watanagashi, one person dies and another disappears. It is a cycle of death which started with a fight over the construction plans for a dam. That incident was covered up by the police and has now come back to haunt the village.

Is all this due to a plot or a coincidence… or a curse?

I started watching it a while ago, I'm currently at episode 6. HnNKn. anyone?_________________
